SAYA-VE OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
=============================
We're disposing wxWidgets in favor of Qt4.
(End of announcement)
Unofficial comment by Rick.
===========================
I finally made up my mind. After an e-mail conversation with one of the VLC developers, I was told that they submitted quite a few bug reports to wxWidgets, and they were all dismissed. I was also told that wxWidgets was very difficult to work with, and recommended to work with GTK, QT, or anything _else_ (wow, is wxWidgets that bad?).
And my experience confirms it.
Now, I tried the QT4 dialog designer, and once you get the hang of it (you need to use a right-click menu to put all the controls in a layout, there's no standard button for that), it's a bliss. But is it compatible with GPLv3? Version 4.3.4 and up are. Hurray! :)
Sigh, so here goes YET ANOTHER month of changing existing code for arbitrary reasons. I'm lucky I had already adapted a lot of code from wxWidgets ;-).
I'll close this announcement with a famous quote:
"Chance favors the prepared mind".
